While in India for #WCOG2026, WGO staff and leadership had the special opportunity to visit the Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences (ILBS) Training Center in New Delhi and tour its facilities.

Inaugurated in April 2015 under the leadership of Prof. Shiv Kumar Sarin and Co-Director Dr. Manoj Kumar Sharma, the ILBS Training Center trains the next generation of hepatologists and provides comprehensive, patient-centered care across a broad spectrum of health needs.

Thank you to our colleagues in New Delhi for their warm hospitality and for upholding the excellence of WGO training centers!

As part of their monthly spotlight, the WGO Climate Change Committee highlights a new joint guidance document from the Canadian Association of Gastroenterology (CAG) and the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE).

The document proposes a practical framework to help endoscopy units advance environmental sustainability while maintaining high-quality patient care. The framework includes 12 sustainability indicators across 7 key areas, including administration, education, appropriate use of procedures, consumables, waste, travel, and energy.

The goal is not perfection: it is to provide practical, measurable steps that endoscopy units can implement according to their resources and progressively build on.

Sustainable endoscopy is a journey, not a destination. Small changes can lead to meaningful improvements for patients, healthcare systems, and the planet.
